SS Salzburg was a German transport ship that was torpedoed by the Soviet submarine M-118 and sank on 1 October 1942 east of Lake Shahany, Ukraine.^[1]

Salzburg was constructed in 1921 at the De Groot & V. Vliet shipyard in Rotterdam, Netherlands. She was completed in 1921. The ship was 85.1 metres (279 ft 2 in) long, with a beam of 9.8 metres (32 ft 2 in) and a depth of 5.4 metres (17 ft 9 in). The ship was assessed at 1,742 GRT. She had 1 x 3-cyl. triple expansion engine driving a single screw propeller. The engine was rated at 241 nhp.^[1]

Salzburg was torpedoed east of Lake Shahany by the Soviet submarine M-118 on 1 October 1942 while she was carrying 2,200 Russian prisoners of war from Burghaz to Odessa. About 2,000 prisoners and 2 crew members went down with the ship and the M-118 was attacked and sunk that same day by two Romanian minesweepers.^[1]

The current situation of the wreck is unknown, but is believed to lie at (45°54′N 30°19′E / 45.900°N 30.317°E / 45.900; 30.317).^[1]
